Smiling Pooh

Any one for Pooh? This is an adorable cake for a baby shower or a birthday party! This is absolutely the sweetest cake! Pooh is leading the pack down the water slide with Tiger and Rabbit looking on!

The Back Room Surprise!

Oh my goodness....I slipped this one in the back room and just had to share it with you just before it was served.

Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, and Strawberries Dipped In Chocolate!

Dillon Tubb Turns 14!

I can not believe that Dillon is 14 years old! It just seems like yesterday that he was a baby! He is the sweetest of my three children and the most thoughtful! He thanks you repeatedly for things that you do for him. Dillon loves sports! This year he chose a hockey theme because he loves the Nashville Predator's.

Just as soon as the Beach Patrol heard that it was his 14th Birthday, they just had to put the cuff's on him! Dillon met Ray (Beach Patrol Deputy) and made friends with him immediately! The sun was so bright...it was hard to get a clear picture. I will try to lighten it up later on.

A Birthday Meal Fit For A King! Dillon wanted a "Thick Cheeseburger" and his wish was easily granted! It was so "Thick" we had to cut it in half. I will share a secret about my thick burgers, you must squeeze a slice of lemon on it before you eat it so you will enjoy all of the seasonings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SWEETEST AND MOST HANDSOME BOY EVER!

Dillon Tubb is 14!

May Wedding #6 Shelly & Johnny Fiddlers Grove, Lebanon, TN

Wow.....What a month May has been! 6 weddings in 4 weekends and birthday cakes all in between. I will post all of my birthday cakes asap.

This cake has been complimented by so many people who have seen the pictures of Johnny and Shelly's wedding in Lebanon. Shelly was absolutely the sweetest thing Saturday. While I was setting up the cakes, she was giggling and ooowing and awing over every detail.

Shelly had e-mailed me a picture of a cake that she wanted me to do. She picked out an absolutely perfect cake with the most delicate detail work. Each layer had a different design and had the perfect touch of detail. The cake had their initials monogrammed on the anniversary layer and was topped off with the sweetest bridal couple straight from the University of Tennessee Book Store. Mr. & Mrs. UT. Shelly used of course the UT orange as well as fuchsia pink.

Shelly has the eye for the candy! This darling candy table fit the mood of the reception area at the Fiddlers Grove. With the food, cake, the band, and the dance floor....the only thing else that they needed was Johnny's own personalized UT Stadium Grooms cake. Johnny and his groomsmen are all graduates of UT and Shelly and I kept a secret from him for months about having his fraternity number of the entire grooms party on the field below the Power T. Well Shelly....Your Wish Is My Command!


Congratulations go to Shelly and Johnny!

May Wedding #5-Summer Wilson, Cookeville

Collin and Summer chose this beautiful cake for their wedding reception. Summer is a teacher in Cookeville and has the most beautiful heart. She requested a white stacked cake with black ribbon on each layer. When the cake was delivered, the cake topper was added along with some beautiful Austrian Crystal pins to bling it up even more. Summer and I had discuss about the design of her cake and she told me that I could "just make it elegant". When she saw it she was absolutely excited and more than pleased. The Cornelle Lace was the perfect touch. Colin and Summer are huge UT fans and what a better representation of Neyland Stadium than a miniature version. He was so amazed at the detail.
Good Luck to the new couple and to all of my brides and grooms!

Enjoy!

May Wedding #4 Misti Hathcock and Seth Dudley

Today I helped celebrate the joining of this beautiful couple. Misti is the daughter of Coy and Betty Ann Hathcock. Coy is our minister. They are the most beautiful couple!
Misti chose this beautiful ivory square cake on columns trimmed in white with beautiful white pearls accenting each layer. In between each layer were the flowers matching her beautiful bouquet. The lighted fountain was absolutely stunning!

Misti chose to host her reception under the beautiful canopy of her parents front yard. We have tropical fruit-k-bobs and chocolate in my beautiful chocolate fountain.

Absolutely a beautiful spring day and the most wonderful food ever!

Linda Golden was a wonderful help with organizing the coordination of the reception area! Thank You Mrs. Linda and also to Mrs. Pat McClaren!

Seth's favorite baseball team is the Chicago Cubs. Of course, what a better and more suited Grooms Cake than this!

GOOD LUCK AND CONGRAT'S TO THE NEW MR. AND MRS. DUDLEY!

Cake Catch Up

I am so sorry that I haven't posted some of my work from this week, but I have been soooo busy with Misti Hathcock's and Summer Wilson's weddings today. Dot Dunn called me and asked me to make a special cake for Andy to give to Mrs. June Haley. Andy calls June " June Bug" and Aubrey "Candy Man". Andy wanted me to make her a special "June Bug" cake for her birthday Thursday. John Ryan wanted to deliver it to her for me and he said that it was the sweetest sight when Mrs. June came to the door. He said she was like a little kid on Christmas morning! Happy Birthday June! I love you Andy!
Michelle Prater e-mailed me a several weeks back and needed a birthday cake for her son's 5th birthday and some cookies for party favors. Michelle is such a wonderful person and I really enjoy her and her friendship!

This truck was right up a 5 year old boys alley! Happy Birthday!!!!

The Tubb Family

This is an updated picture of our family! Since John Ryan is back home from college, we're finally complete.

One of our favorite things is to attend church together. Sometimes that is almost impossible when he was away at college, but with him back home...we soak every minute of family time up!

Dillon Is An Official Freshman

On Thursday, May 15th...Dillon's 1 Yr. Anniversary from his hip injury...he graduated from the 8th grade at Centertown Elementary.
He is pictured with some of his friends from his class. Ashlen (black and pink) and Annie (black and white) have been really good friends to Dillon. This time last year Ashlen and Dillon communicated via web cam. She was at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital after having surgery on her spine and Dillon was re-cooperating from his hip surgeries.

Annie & Ashlen were part of the crew that Dillon went "cruising" with after the graduation program was completed. They "cruised" around McMinnville then off to Murfreesboro for reservations at Chili's at 10 p.m.

Dillon had a blast and is excited about High School!

Congratulations Dillon! We Love You!

Andy Dunn's 5th Birthday Bash!

Today we celebrated Andy Dunn's 5th Birthday with the biggest bash McMinnville has ever seen. With the Motorcycle Gang, to the Air Plane Fly By, to Jugglers, Magicians, and everything in between. Andy was a RIOT! This is the cake that he specifically ordered from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital about 3 weeks ago. Andy specifically to the very detail told me how he wanted it. He wanted a Sand Castle. He even had a picture of the exact cake he wanted............. I guess by the smile on his face....he loved it!
I put 5 candles on Mr. Andy's cake and he preceded to add the other 5 that was in the package. I guess that if he was going to have to blow out candles...why not all of them.
When the coast was clear from all of the candle blowing he did...my boy just stuck his hand right in and got him a handful and just made himself home! What more could you want...your very own birthday cake all to himself!

Andy will be in Vanderbilt Children's Hospital during his actual calendar birthday, June 9th. He will be in the middle of his stem cell transplant and will be in quarantine for several months.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KISSIE POOH!

May Wedding #3-Stefan Johnson & Mary Cooper, Murfreesboro, TN

Today Mary Cooper will become the bride of Stefan Johnson at Cannonsburg in Murfreesboro. I am so blessed by getting to know this sweet couple. The reception is being held at Mary's parents home. The wedding cake is a creation that Stefan, Mary, and I came up with several months ago. A traditional white cake with a beautiful scarlet red ribbon and pearls adorning each layer. Mary has decorated their home, inside and out. Out by the pool is the Grooms cake. With lights draped on everything, a beautiful sparkling pool, and a tent with a beautiful dance floor made by Mary's dad, this absolutely "To Die For" Grooms cake just fits for the party afterwards. Stefen called me back in January specifically wanting this as his Grooms cake.

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Johnson!
When I delivered the cakes to Mary's parents home...Mary was absolutely beautiful...glowing and radiant!

May all of my Brides feel the same as she was feeling today!

May Wedding #2-Benny & Kimberly Merriman

Kimberly is one of my regular customers with my other business. She is just the sweetest and happiest lady ever! She called me and asked me if I would stop by her office for something that was very important. So I wheeled in at Tennessee Title Loans and asked her what was up. She preceded to tell me the sweetest story about her and Benny. Benny and Kimberly were married a few years ago, but divorced do to some problems that Benny was struggling with. She said that since then...Benny has completely change his life and has put God first in it. She and Benny will be married tomorrow at Pioneer Community Church. You should have seen their girls eyes when I walked in with this beautiful cake. Kimberly was so excited and looked like she was glowing! Good Luck and Congratulations to this darling family!

This cake is a wonderful example of what Kimberly wanted-Simple Elegance. This cake is a homemade Vanilla with buttercream icing. To compliment the cake, Kimberly chose chocolate brown and Tiffany box blue ribbon for each layer. Of course, you can't miss the beautiful wedding cake topper. Just the perfect thing for the perfect cake!
